Total 911

9WERKS, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts created by Total 911 editor Lee Sibley, has conducted its inaugural awards evening to celebrate the finest in quality and customer service across the UK Porsche industry. Held on 7 April

There really is nothing out there quite like a Porsche Turbo. Sure, the 911 generally is an amazing sports car and a pretty good all-rounder, but while other models within the 911 family excel more at one aspect of motoring – for example, Rennsports

This stylish tool bag for the G Series 911 (1983 to 1989) is new from Porsche Classic. The leather and black-and-white pinstriped velour bag contains a range of tools, including instruments for use in the event of a faulty sliding roof or window regu

Dear Sir, While it’s great to see promotion of affordable 911s in your magazine, in reference to your recent ‘praise of the 996’ issue, might I suggest casting a light on the merits of the 997.1? It seems my car has been forgotten by the mainstream

When asked what’s the hardest thing to learn in performance driving, I’d have to say the brake pedal. You might think it should be picking the best line on track or managing the car at the limit in a corner. Granted, these two skills don’t come easil

Andreas Preuninger often reminisces about the white and blue Carrera 2.7 RS that occupied his bedroom wall. For me, being a few years younger than the head of Porsche’s GT division, pride of place went to a red 930 Turbo. To a car-obsessed kid in Cro

After strong sale prices of the auction cars featured in last month’s Spotted, we’ve been perusing the classifieds for other interesting 911s for sale. We love a Special Wishes car, and back in the early 1990s Porsche’s dream-makers were applying som

The 997.2 made history by being the first Turbo since the 930 in 1974 not to use a Mezger-derived engine. The water-cooled 3.6-litre flat six that Herbert Ampferer had conceived for the 996 GT3 and developed for the 996 Turbo had served its purpose.

£90,000 buys a correctly maintained 2007 GT3 which may have seen some track use. Nervous when the Turbo S is calm, when the blown Turbo S seems unbelievably fast, the manual GT3 is always a driving challenge. The opposite of Turbo S, but a more solid

Hans Mezger started with Porsche on 1 October, 1956, and was initially assigned a role in the diesel engine development department. He moved quickly to the calculation department where he worked on the four-cam Type 547 engine, developing a formula f

A wise man once said there’s no such thing as a cheap Porsche, and he wasn’t wrong. Sure, a few years ago you could probably bag a 924 for a four-figure sum beginning with a 2, but it’d be, er, ‘ratty’ I think is the term. And then there’s the debate

Vic Elford died at his home in Florida on 12 March after a long battle with prostate cancer. He was 86. After emphatically putting the 911 on the international rallying map in 1968 by scoring the first of Porsche’s three Monte Carlo victories, Vic wa

911s in the data file are organised in rows according to release date, beginning with the very first model in 1964. Many models were available in Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet forms, with the option of automatic transmission. Here, data has been provide

The world has changed in the past month or so. The war in Ukraine has sent shocks around the world, both emotionally and financially. Aside from the horrors inflicted on Ukrainian people, the world is learning to cope with new supply chains for all m

For some owners, standard is never enough – even on a 911. With this in mind, Porsche offered a performance increase package for the 911 called the X51 Powerkit. Since the 993, the X51 was a factory-approved package to give a 911 engine a little bit

Events bringing Ferry Porsche and his four sons together became rarer as the years passed. Yet for his 80th birthday in September 1989, most of the family and a few close friends descended on Zell am See, the traditional Porsche home south of Salzbur

All 911s are constructed on the same hallowed line at Porsche’s long-time HQ at Zuffenhausen, but did you know each 911 goes through a 117-stage build process, over two days, involving some 1,500 staff? Porsche has also expanded its popular Paint To
